Réponse du propriétaire: We are sincerely sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. We try as hard as possible to maintain this condo to the highest possible standards. I think that this shows through all the positive reviews that we have had till now. We are in fact presently in the condo having arrived right after your stay and were last down in mid-February. Last time, all the walls had been repainted, the windows washed, the carpets steam-cleaned and all the cushion covers washed. This time, other than a few marks on the walls, the paint was in good shape, although we have still had touch-ups done. We have also changed the towel rail and bath mat in the spare bathroom. Yes there were a couple of food and sun lotion stains on the outdoor patio cushions and we will make sure that our cleaning lady washes them more often as needed. Upon arrival this time we checked all 4 air conditioners in the unit and they work fine. Your comment concerning water running down the wall and into the kitchen is most unfair. As soon as you wrote to us about the problem our management company came over and discovered that you were both out of the apartment but had left the spare bedroom air conditioner running during the day with both the window and door of the bedroom open. Of course with the high humidity here, the air conditioner could not keep up and produced an excess of condensation. Had you simply closed both the door and the window as respectfully requested in the guide and on the note by the remote control, this would not have occured. Strangely there are no water stains on the wall. Right now there is a hotel facing us that is being renovated. Since it is not a new construction, we have been very little inconvenienced. However we discovered upon our return this time that the top floor is now being removed, probably to create a roof-top terrace. This is the source of the jack-hammering that you heard but fortunately this work will most likely be terminated within a week or two. Unfortunately we can do nothing about the roosters and the donkey but they were in fact around two years ago when you last stayed with us. As you yourself said, this is a great location and not an isolated resort. Obviously each person is different but we have never had any complaints before regarding noise. We consider these to be experiences to be appreciated since they remind us that we are living in a different country and part of what makes life so wonderful and interesting.
